* For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us . * For the earn expectation of the creature waits for the manifestation of the sons of God . * For the creature was made subject to vanity , not willingly , but by reason of him who has subjected the same in hope , * Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God . * For we know that the whole creation groans and labors in pain together until now . * And not only they , but ourselves also , which have the first-fruits of the Spirit , (o . pneuma ) even we ourselves groan within ourselves , waiting for the adoption , to know , the redemption of our body . * For we are saved by hope : but hope that is seen is not hope : for what a man sees , why does he yet hope for ? * But if we hope for that we see not , then do we with patience wait for it . * Likewise the Spirit (o . pneuma ) also helps our infirmities : for we know not what we should pray for as we ought : but the Spirit (o . pneuma ) itself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered . * And he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit , (o . pneuma ) because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God .
